Spring Hill: Another Utopia Bites the Dust - By Nicholas von Hoffman, The NationAlthough the automobile was invented by a European gentleman named Gottlieb Daimler (1834-1900), nothing is so American as the motor car and nothing would be such an affront to our national self-esteem as seeing the end of the last two American-owned auto companies. Loss of self-esteem is nothing compared to the impact on more than 13 million workers directly and indirectly dependent on the industry. Obviously, even in the event that the worst were to happen, as is freely being discussed on the business pages, the many non-union workers in foreign-owned auto assembly plants would carry on.

Must GM and Ford move to China and Russia to make money. Canada would be viable if the lIBRANOS WOULD STOP THROWING OUR MONEY AWAY.

Liberal Tactic; Promise - get elected - Forget!

In 1974 the Liberal government entered into a 71 year land lease agreement with the Squamish Indian band.

Liberals promised to build an environment centre on the land leased near the Lions gate bridge on Vancouver’s north shore.

The Liberals, after paying millions in annual lease fees, have still not built the promised centre.

Annual lease fees started at $4 million in 1974 and have risen on a regular basis . Last Auditor General figures show income on a sub lease at $2.2 million and government lease payment of $28.8 million for a net loss of our federal monies of about $26.6 million.

The lease rate will soon be raised to a new higher value as per the lease agreement.

Is this the wise governance our Canada needs?

The site is the fourth most contaminated site in government hands and the clean - up may cost us millions more than the monies already lost.

This is only one of many similar unwise Liberal decisions wasting our tax dollars every day. I am told there are also vacant leased offices in the Ottawa, Hull Quebec areas.

These issues are only part of an incomplete list of 200 Liberal shortcomings.
